Why do prices vary between routes?

Distance matters, but so do corridor traffic, the direction of demand and how far pickup and delivery are from major highways. A busy 1,500-mile route can cost less per mile than a quiet 600-mile one.

Why is my quote different from the route average?

Averages are for a standard sedan on open transport. Your vehicle, transport type, pickup dates and exact addresses all move the price.

Can I get prices for a route that isn't listed?

Yes. Browse all routes or use the cost calculator for any pickup and delivery pair.

Are these real prices or estimates?

They're estimates built from quoted, booked and completed shipment prices, shown as averages and typical ranges. A price only becomes a confirmed rate when a carrier accepts your specific shipment.
